    he just turned 23, like a week ago; only five players that age or younger have a better OPS right now (his babip is about 50 pts below where his xbabip suggests it should be, also) really good HR rate - check really good K rate - check really good defense - check sure i'd like him to be a tougher out against lefties, but there's really not much to be concerned about with him, at all i can't imagine how much you panicky weirdos would be freaking out about guys like Bryce Harper or Eric Hosmer right now

    I honestly feel as though the A's would appreciate Darwin Barney more than Vitters, especially since they could use him as a SS. well that, and he's ten times the player Vitters is

    standing at 93 R, 22 HR, 66 RBI, 38 SB, .340 - a really good season - except, he hasn't even reached 100 G yet his 162 G split: 156 R, 222 H, 37 HR, 111 RBI, 64 SB (5 CS) no player has ever had even a 30/60 season before

    Melky, Liriano, Anibal, Santana should all be available at huge discounts

    love that 2-strike double from Brett

    oh look, sometimes if you wait a few pitches, a pitcher gives you a meatball

    why was he wearing a Brewers uniform
  9. sneakypower
    he's always been a 4-5 starter well, besides the 84% of his career appearances where he's actually been a reliever

    Maybe as a ST invite, but we're not exactly talking about a young guy waiting for a breakout season here. I'm actually very surprised that he's only 28. It seemed like he was with the Brewers for ages. paging bukie

    he should have been shut down awhile ago...

    Brett Wallace with a good example there of how not to play 1B

    Greene was out, but so was Castro i guess

    we're likely without Toussaint, so i can see us losing by a couple scores and falling to like, 14 but i can't help but wonder where we'll get slotted if we actually win He's already back at practice after missing only a week. doesn't mean he'll play given his handling of Stonum and his ground rules, i don't see how Hoke starts Fitz

    it's a nice touch that Vogelbach's dot is twice the size of all the others'

    Adam Dunn was a horrendous and completely unacceptable OFer, so God only knows what the [expletive] you're talking about. What I'm talking about is that as horrendous his OF defense was, his bat was valuable enough that they were willing to accept it in order to get it in the lineup, so assuming he continues to develope as the beast that he is early on, and assuming that Rizzo is our long term 1B, is giving Vogelbach some OF reps an option? But why male models? hahahaha

    Phillips is taking some really ugly swings all series and still getting a hit every AB

    i brought up his (aforementioned) current slump, to make his numbers look as good as possible? yes. You picked an arbitrary point in time to make his BB & K numbers as good as possible. Are you denying that? yes, dexter or whoever asked what his walk rate was like during his current slump, and i focused on that, and why there's some signs for real optimism there but endpoints for "slumps" are always arbitrarily defined

    Out of curiosity, and because I have no earthly idea how to calculate it, what would his line be if his BABIP were normalized to something like .310 or so? that'd just be 12 more hits dropping in play, making it roughly .290/.355/.450 i'm not making an argument about his BIP luck during the stretch, but rather pointing out that if his Howson-era BB and K rates are indicative of a change in approach, he can now be much less reliant upon a high BABIP to be a very productive hitter

    Castro's last 38 games: 8.2% BB, 13.3% K, .207/.272/.352 (.210 babip) Castro's previous 72 games: 1.9% BB, 17.0% K, .304/.317/.445 (.347 babip) honestly, a .310 babip makes that a great line; i actually feel much better about his offense going forward now than i did when he was flailing at everything but hitting .300

    Counter examples don't make it right. Should I list all the players who started off looking promising, had a hiccup and never recovered? There are more of those, btw, they're just less memorable. how many had great seasons every year, with no hiccups?
  25. sneakypower
    how many PA does it take to stabilize for a guy who's likely having his swing overhauled on the fly?
